Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

Bipolar and Depressed
I have been in a relationship for almost a year now with a girl who is Bipolar and deals with depression. The hard parts of the relationship are not so much these problems as it is on how she became this way.

Being with Someone with Depression
I will start off by saying that this is my experience and that this may not be everyone's experience, but I'm writing this for therapy reasons and just to share. So I will insert a trigger warning here for those of you who are triggered by suicide or depression; this post is not suitable for you.

The Conscious Spider
Subconscious beliefs enter our world way before we have any idea how much they can impact our future. Spiders. I've had my own battle with fears of spiders. Still today I can feel hair raising on the back of my neck as I come near a spider or have one crawl on me—but I push through.

How My Life Changed in One Night
My entire life shifted dramatically in one single night. In one single night, I lost all hope and fell into a deep depression, gaining only post-traumatic stress disorder, which also was not ideal.

No Two "Disableds" Are Exactly Alike
You know how someone attempts to reach out to someone with a mental or neurological disability, and think they know exactly what to expect, because they know one person with said disability? Those people should realize sooner or later that knowing what helps one person won't help everyone. We're as diverse as our neurotypical counterparts and, looking back, that fact makes me glad that IEPs exist, instead of just generalized educational plans that are made based on the entire portion of the student body that has the same disability as a single person.

White Hot Rage...
At 34, with more life experience than most 50-year-old humans, I have had my share of "incidents" if you will, that have made me bend, break, and finally snap. I have had my entire household of stuff stolen 2 or 3 times, I have had a car stolen only for me to find it ran out of gas... seat belts cut... and the windows down with the keys in it, I have had people pick fights with me for seemingly no reason, and strange shit just generally happens around me. I am much better than I used to be about losing it. I breathe, I meditate, I listen to music, I do every single thing I can to diffuse my mind and sometimes, just sometimes, I lose it.

The Toxicity of Modern Life
Let's talk about this prison we've built ourselves. It's dark, isolated, and riddled with self doubt capable of devouring any flicker of hope we may be given. An unforgiving place that we call home houses every emotion, every thought, every idea for a brighter future, kept just out of reach.

A Chef, Without the Line
My life was always surrounded with food, by food, and for food. If I could change time and redo my life, I would want nothing to do with food—this career, lifestyle, and its personalities.

Ode to Spring
I've always had a long time love affair with Spring. There's something about the longer days, bluer skies, warmer weather, the scents getting sweeter, and flowers blooming that really remind me how beautiful life is. In ecology, it's been known as a time for mating between animals. The birds are singing, the foliage has the richest color, and it seems like it could be the most pleasant time of year.

Analyzing Teenage Cultural Issues
Whether it is a breaking news story, or a current social media trending topic, teen issues are always being discussed. In today’s society, their cultural issues have changed, making it hard to relate, and understand what teens are going through. Because of the ignorance, their issues are talked down upon, or blamed on the teenager’s hormones. They are also blamed on their friends, or other irrelevant influences, when in reality it is mostly internal. To adults, the causes are a mystery. The issues that they had as teenagers have drastically changed compared to today’s common issues. Don’t Look Behind You by Lois Duncan captures realistic causes and effects of common teen issues in today’s society such as teen defiance, consumption of alcohol, and the pressure to be or look a certain way.

The Dark Side of the INFJ
I am an INFJ. If you are unfamiliar about what an INFJ means, then I urge you to read my other article, Inside the Mind of the INFJ, then come back to finish this.
